Buy loads of shiny new bits for it and don't fit them seems to be the way on this forum. It's what I've been doing for some time now and it's working out really well for me  ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

I've had a rebuilt and lowered beam with B6 shocks and solid rear beam mounts (Built by Jordz294 from the forum) totally stripped and repainted (currently doing that) the whole underside, also removing the skirts to have a small piece of rust cut out and welded. Stripped the interior but I'm going to be putting something back in, maybe just sound deadening carpet to keep the noise down a bit, polycarb rear windows, bucket seats and harnesses which I am yet to collect, 16" track alloys and some 406 brembosGoing to be bought B8's with Eibach's going on the front, upper and lower OMP strut brace, roller wishbone bearings with all new Powerflex black bushes on the rest of the front suspension. Got a spare engine that maybe going to Lynx at some point for some fettling, going to see how large my tax rebate is next month now! ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

I've also put my name down for a fibreglass bonnet since I needed a replacement and mine is wrecked. Trying to go for a lightweight track car that I can still use on the road now and again, not as my main car________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

Nothing about owning a 306 is cheap. You get sucked into buying more and more. I was only going to change the rear beam mounts, front and rear shocks originally, it's just snowballed from there. The Parts for Sale section on here just has too much good stuff coming up all the time. ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

Go buy yourself a Evo/Cosworth/Subaru and mod that for more power/track work then you will change your opinion on the price of modding a 306! ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

^^ This! Even some comparable hatchbacks are a lot more expensive on parts than Peugeots. Try Nissans or VWs. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

My mate was looking at getting a Civic Type R to put on the track and nearly shat himself when he found that one drive shaft comes in at 200 quid. He bought a VTS instead then!________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected! Project Thread Looking for: VTS P1 Rack PR1.2 16" |
